Don’t let that leftover grilled chicken go to waste…make BBQ Chicken Pizza!

We are pizza lovers in my household! Whether it’s take out, our favorite pizza stop, or homemade, we will eat it! I make all kinds of pizzas from really easy semi homemade to fairly easy from scratch. One of my favorite types of pizza to make is the kind that uses up the leftovers. As you know, I’m all about making my life a little easier. I figure, if I’m cooking up one meal, I might as well cook up a little extra to make it double duty. I just love being able to take something made earlier in the week and transforming it with ease (cause it’s already cooked) for a meal later in the week.This recipe is just that! I grill up some BBQ chicken with sides one day and use the leftover grilled chicken to make pizza! It’s so easy and comes together fast.
